After 6 months of procrastination I have decided to cancel my game Sugar in Shadows rather than try to finish it. I have mixed emotions and made a very long rambly video about it! youtu.be/8aIcq4pQPTM #gamedev #indiedev

I love powerups... but this is definitely a bug lol! #breakout #fail

Working on a keypad access system for the latest challenge in Code Monkey's #gamedev practice lab. I'm really enjoying this one! 😁 #WIPWednesday #MadeInUnity

Finally, my #breakout #game is finished! Short #gameplay clip... youtu.be/HuMnVRl19as #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #ScreenshotSaturday

Back working on my breakout game... added a block multiplier so there's lots more blocks now! #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiedev #MadeWithUnity

So you built a JSON save / load system for your #Unity game and everything works on your device but when you upload to the web eg #Itch now the save isn't being loaded anymore? Well, this is the fix and it only takes one line of code! youtube.com/watch?v=R-vEGK… #gamedev #tutorial

After 4 months of procrastination I finally managed to resume work on Sprite Breaker and get it into a playable state and publish it on Itch! It's not finished, but it's just about playable. I wrote a blog post about this procrastination issue I had. rheyan.itch.io/sprite-breaker…

I've been struggling to finish two games that I started months ago, I don't know why. Is it possible that the act of finishing and publishing a game is actually a SKILL that can be practiced and learned? I want to find out! youtu.be/2NMXqkV4h1E #gamedev #indiedev #unity

For CodeMonkey's latest #GameDev Practice Lab, he's challenging us to create a traffic control system! This first scene is the most basic version. #ScreenshotSaturday #Unity

Working on a CCTV camera system for Code Monkey's #GameDev Practice Lab challenge! He's done all the hard work, I just setup the camera's hehe! #unity #ScreenshotSaturday

I've had quite a long break from #gamedev but joining the Practice Lab from #CodeMonkey has got me back into it! I'm currently working on implementing a save system for his little city builder scene. #WIPWednesday #unity

CodeMonkey has just launched a program called the #GameDev Practice Lab. It's not a course. Instead, he builds out a demo scene of some kind and then gives you objectives to complete within that scene to stretch your knowledge. I have joined it! youtu.be/82IrGscQzZ4

Another #devlog for Sugar in Shadows posted. I'm almost caught up with these now! youtu.be/DBMHbxMV0Y4 #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

I have found that when I work consistently at the things I love doing (game development, but other things too), I am just happier in general, even in other areas of life that are not so fun, like a crappy job! youtube.com/watch?v=Ppdj0Q… #ThursdayThoughts #gamedev #consistency

Well I made it, though my whole party were in poor health! Still, not bad for the first time playing the game. #games #oregontrail

Despite my age I have somehow managed to completely miss this entire series of games! I've always wanted to play them but never got around to it until today. I'm starting with a pretty early version here! #games #oregontrail

I am struggling to get back into this game! I actually recorded this video back in December and I'm only getting around to posting it now, and I've still not worked on the game since then so the problem persists! youtu.be/pOUu8YU0eVk #gamedev #devlog

Catching up with my card game, Sugar in Shadows. I've replaced the core card gathering mechanics with a simple bakery scene where you can go and collect treats (draw cards) in a way that makes more sense. youtube.com/watch?v=OhCinK… #gamedev #devlog #unity

Can Games be a Medium For Making a Positive Impact? I ask myself this question in my own games, and showcase a small free game that I found recently which was very obviously designed to make an impact. youtube.com/watch?v=HeWWve… #games #ThursdayThoughts

Recently I posted this video about the destructive effect that just a short period of crunch time had on my game. For me it was a very negative experience overall, and one I wouldn't want to repeat. youtube.com/watch?v=v3pmE-… #gamedev #crunchtime #ThursdayThoughts
